Clint Eastwood on the poster for the Sergio Leone movie For a Few Dollars More (1965)
Like any individual year of the 1960s, 1965 was a 12-month period that saw its fair share of great film releases. It’s hard to call it particularly strong or lacking compared to any other year, because it’s just a fact of life that something good will come out every year, and it usually takes something like a global pandemic or an industry-wide strike to make an individual year stand out as a little lacking.
But that’s also what makes it oddly endearing. All four members of The Beatles were definitely on a strange wavelength , and Help! was a movie that could’ve only come to fruition at this point in the band’s lifespan. There’s a carefree, surreal, and dreamy feel to the whole thing, its sense of humor is remarkably weird, and it’s wholly distinct. It’s A Hard Day’s Night’s weirder, more annoying, but debatably more memorable younger brother, for better or worse .
7 'The Sound of Music' Director: Robert Wise Speaking of long and popular movies released during 1965, here’s The Sound of Music, which ended up winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards for the year in question. It’s a musical with a capital M, being the kind that isn’t likely to convert individuals who aren’t already partial to the genre, but anyone with a fondness for old musicals will get something out of The Sound of Music .
5 'Repulsion' Director: Roman Polanski Repulsionsucceeds strikingly well as a psychological horror/thriller film, and remains genuinely unnerving long after it first came out, being comparably impactful to another Roman Polanski horror film from the 1960s, Rosemary’s Baby. Narratively, Repulsion focuses on a woman dealing with hallucinations and intense fears, all of which become worse when she’s left on her own for an extended period of time.
